Porcellino: It's a big week for pig. In addition to Bacon Bacon, San Francisco also welcomed Porcellino into the fold.

Porcellino - Italian for "piglet" - is the revamped version of Noe Valley staple Incanto, which closed last month. The same team, led by Mark Pastore and chef Chris Cosentino, are still running the show, but it's a quick-service affair, with diners ordering at the counter.

Some Incanto items remain, such as the ragu and salumi plate, but there are plenty of new items, especially in the sandwich arena, which includes a mortadella "hot dog" and meatball sub.

There is also a retail nook or two for purchasing wine, Boccalone cured pork products, and other food products.

Pizzeria Delfina: The fourth location - and second on the Peninsula - of San Francisco favorite Pizzeria Delfina has come to the former Empire Tap Room, with its gorgeous patio. At 120 seats, inside and out, it's the largest Pizzeria Delfina to date

Another bonus: This branch comes with a full liquor license - meaning there are cocktails.
